Hi all, here is the North American Nebula taken last night with a Canon 20D on an Astro-Physics Traveler with the focal reducer. This is framed a little unconventionally, it was late and I was getting sloppy and mist was everywhere. What a busy part of the sky! 5x5min, ISO 1600. I still have not perfected manual dark noise reduction so bottom right is kind of murky.
Thanks for looking,
Ivan

That's a great shot Ivan... looks like a very BUSY place! wink

Gotta love these "full of stars" wide-field shots... they give you an incredible sense of depth...

Thanks for sharing!
